Introduction
The family Gadidae is a diverse group that includes about 17 to 18 genera and about 38 species (Endo 2002; von der Heyden & Matthee 2008; Roa-Varón & Ortí 2009). The only known Australian species, Gaidropsarus novaezealandiae, was placed in the family Gadidae by Paxton et al. (1989) and Cohen (1990), and in the family Phycidae by Nelson (2006) and Paxton et al. (2006). The current placement in the family Gadidae follows the classifications of Endo (2002) and Wiley & Johnson (2010) based on morphology, and the genetic studies of Teletchea et al. (2006), von der Heyden & Matthee (2008) and Roa-Varón & Orti (2009). Previous authors have placed Gaidropsarus in the family Gaidropsaridae (Iwamoto & Cohen 2003) and in the family Lotidae (Eschmeyer 2011). The Gadidae as recognised here is sometimes divided into 4 subfamilies or families (Gadidae, Lotidae, Phycidae, Gaidropsaridae see Grand et al. 2014).
Most gadid cods are benthopelagic on the continental shelves of the North Atlantic. Some are pelagic or inhabit deeper continental slope waters. One species lives in freshwater. Gadids form the basis of major commercial fisheries.
